  • In this paper, we propose new watermarking technique using weighting factor decision method in the watermark embedding step and adaptive threshold decision method in the watermark extracting step. In our method, we are determined weighting factor in simple by calculating distance between pixel coefficient and neighborhood pixel coefficients and threshold is adaptively determined by searching the minimized extract error value using histogram of difference value.

  • In this paper, we propose a digital watermarking method for still images, in which the human visual system (HVS) is used in the discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain. The modulation transfer function (MTF) of the HVS model is employed to increase the invisibility of the inserted watermark in images. The proposed watermarking method is shown to be robust to several common image processing techniques, including lowpass filtering and cropping. Also, using the energy relationship of the DCT, we derive the equation that directly computes the watermark weighting factor in the DCT domain for the specified peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) of the still image and the length of watermark to be inserted. The difference between desired PSNR and PSNR in spatial domain is within 0.07dB for the 7 test images.

  • In this paper, we apply multiresolution wavelet transform for the digital image watermarking. For better result, we insert watermark into the images and set a proper weighting factor for each subband based on HVS model. With proposed algorithm, we confirm that the image quality is satisfactory and this method outperforms the previous methods against image compression and cropping.
